Looking for a few engineers to help test a lightweight PR review tool

Hey folks 👋

I’m one of the founders of Hikaflow. We’re building a lightweight tool that acts as a second pass on pull requests — helping with code review, testing signals, and other repetitive engineering checks, especially for individuals and small teams.

We’re at a stage where the product is ready, but instead of launching broadly, we want to learn directly from real engineers working on real code.

Right now, we’re looking for:

  1. Solo developers or small teams
  2. Active GitHub projects (public or private)
  3. People who use PRs regularly and move fast

This is not a pitch, and there’s no obligation. The goal is simply:

  1. You try it on a real PR
  2. We see what works, what doesn’t
  3. You give brutally honest feedback

If this sounds interesting, comment here, and I'd be happy to share more context or answer questions.

Appreciate this community a lot, and excited to learn from you all.

    This sounds interesting. I work with a small team of SaaS enthusiasts who actively use PRs and GitHub on real projects. We’d be happy to try Hikaflow on real pull requests and give honest, practical feedback on what works and what doesn’t. Happy to learn more.

      Hey, John, thanks for being open to this. I really appreciate it, Mann!

      I’m building a lightweight tool that helps founders and small teams by automating PR reviews and basic testing checks, so they don’t have to manually recheck everything while shipping.

      It’s still early and very much in a learning phase. The goal is to catch obvious issues, suggest improvements, and reduce review fatigue rather than replace how you code.

      I am sharing a quick link: https://app.hikaflow.com. You can try it on a real PR. I’d love honest feedback on what feels useful and what doesn’t.
